Nolatron Load Suppressor
Part#: 30165

If a load is a solenoid, a motor, a relay coil, or a transformer, it will have inductive properties. When a relay contact breaks the current to an inductor, a high voltage will result across the contact. This may damage the contacts when they begin to seperate.
The 30165 load suppressor contains a metal-oxide varistor (MOV) that limits the level of transient voltage. It also contains an R/C snubber nerwork that limits the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of the transient. This greatly reduces the damage that transients can cause to relay contacts and also reduces the influence they have on electronic equipment.
